About me: I'm a actor, writer, and producer living in Austin Texas. I'm also a television horror host (yes, there are still people who do that)
As Prof. Griffin, I'm the Host of Prof. Griffins Midnight Shadow Show the premiere television horror host in the great state of Texas.
Prof. Griffin was a Central Texas Halloween tradition for 6 glorious years. Along with his assistants, Dan-Dan and Usher, Prof. Griffin hosted cinematic horrors and terrors, carnival style, from Griffin Manor each and every Friday night from 2000-2006.
Prof. Griffin is still the official Halloween Costume Spokesperson for Goodwill Industries of Central Texas, and his yearly Halloween duties include teaching a yearly class on monsters at The University of Texas, and hosting Halloween specials on local Austin stations, KTBC Fox 7, and KNVA WB 54.

Hi! Just wanted to make sure all my friends know that my 2nd horror novel SACRIFICE is now in stores everywhere, including Amazon.com! I hope you'll check out this debauched and demonic horror ride! Here are a couple reviews it's gotten so far:
“SACRIFICE is a full frontal assault on your senses. It is a dark, brutal, bloody and terribly frightening book. Everson went deep into some dark abyss to bring this book to the light of day.... I highly recommend SACRIFICE.” —Famous Monsters of Filmland
“John Everson manages in SACRIFICE to dispense buckets of blood, provide edgy perversity, and walk the tenuous tightrope of horror and sex without falling: It’s rather an amazing feat.” –Hell Notes
I just wanted to extend my sincere congratulations on the release of "American Scary" on DVD. Excellent documentary, a fine mix of classic & contemporary horror hosts. Plus, your segments in it were truly excellent.
Dear Professor, As each October comes and goes, your legend only seems to grow to more magnificent proportions, as well it should. Here's wishing you & all of your fondest fiends a Dwight Frye Halloween. ("Hee-heeeeee-heeeeee-heeeeee.")
Professor Griffin, You put the "night" in nightingale & the "sang" in sanguine as you crooned a tune by the pale light of the moon... spoon... June (OK... October...)!!!
